Tie a knot in the chord so that it fits inside of the power brick.. that way no matter how had you pull there is no pressure on the leads only the case. ;)<br /><br />It took me about 5 hours total.. But I'm a perfectionist and used a screw driver & hammer to break open the case.<br /Richard Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05584255012163761290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552627.post-86865081932156455442010-01-06T08:47:47.272-08:002010-01-06T08:47:47.272-08:00Don't ever expect to carry it onto a plane wit...Don't ever expect to carry it onto a plane without complications again, though.

I know the brick plugs into AC, but does it output AC, or DC (if you know)?J.

The electrical tape tends to unravel... moreover you may be better off using liquid electric tape around the entry in lieu of hot glue - I suspect it is more pliable. <BR/><BR/>I also heard Apple will replace these for you -- that wasn't offered to me but maybe you need to push.
